Grounding??

[xwade01]

I wasnt looking for no hp gain guys. I was just looking to get everything to flow more smoothly electric wise. I wanted to free up all that used power by grounding out the whole engine bay going kind of cheap and stuff. And all i'm wondering now is about that stabalizer in that HKS package. I want to knoow if that stabalizer would help anything at all, and if not i'll just get a simple ground package!

Wade,


I know of two people who did this:

1)Ebay ground wires, 8 guage...nice colors.
2)Sun America Hyper voltage system MR, or your choice...I think MR is all around power...


After they put that on, i did notice their headlights were stupid-bright, their cd deck dialed higher and some interesting things started to work.

For my Lude, i grounded the engine(make sure it goes to the firewall) and my cigarette lighter ring, and ash tray light both lit up!!! before they were dead!

The HKS, Apexi, buddy club systems are good, kinda $$$ but they all come with ground wires...getting ebay ground wires = $30ish? Sun America Hyper Voltage system =$130ish.
Or you could DIY, home depot 6 guage wire...like me...im cheap. bleh.

do it up...you'll like the better electric flow

Yeah good looking. That is what I was somewhat looking to hear for the grounds.

Now on the other hand wtf is this volt stabalizer, and should I get the ground kit w/ that in there, or the regular ground kit for cheaper. Basic ground kits are 15-20$ish and then the kit w/ the stabalizer is 40-50$ish.

i spent about less than $15 for a DIY ground wire kit and it works great and looks better than those ebay wires.. and i still have a whole bunch of wire and connectors left. In my opinion you're better off making and soldering you're your own wires if you know how

[xwade01]

Damn less than 15$?? Just to go get the connecters and all that good quality bullshit i'd want would cost me more than 15$ Hmm idno what I wanna doo .

EDIT::

Oh yeah, and i'd have to go buy some new amp wire. My amp wire is way to small to be a ground, just wouldnt cut it. I need something nice and halfway thick.

I was looking into the ebay crap. but I think going diy home depot or what have you is better. my ? is what gauge should I run? now I'm trying to stay cost efficent so I was thinking around $20.

Thats the question I need answered as well.. I have no clue as to what gauge to run when trying to do this. All I know is my old amp wires is not going to work out.. so yeah who knows!?

[F22A6X]

bump. sorry but I'm still wondering what kinda gauge wire to run for the ground as my previous post asked.

[accordaffair]

Maybe like as thick as ignition wire? 8 guage might be cool, I'm just pulling this out of my ass.

[F22A6X]

hmm I was kinda thinking the same. but if I'm gonna buy the wire might as well get a decent gauge right and try to stay cheap at the same time. so idk.

Don't be a lazy prick and just clean up the Ground Points that Honda Put into the car in the first place. There are only so many ground points through out the whole car, so adding more grounds is going to create more problems later on. I cannot for the life of me see any point in adding extra ground wires. What a WOFTAM.
Next you be putting in a fucking "Turbonator" and expecting significant power gains at the wheels. What a fucking con they are.

[F22A6X]

never said I was adding more. I perfer to use the already there points just with a better wire... my shit is like speaker wire!

[F22-GURU]

Yeah, but for what benefit?

[xwade01]

Yeah, but for what benefit?

For the benefit of having good stable ground connections, that arent old and will probably fuck up by breaking or corroding sooner or later down the road. I myself am going to get either a ground kit or make my own just because they'll be new and I wont be using the whole kit. I'll have the new wires and connectors all ready to go in and replace all of my old oem grounds.

[Accord13&BA4]

8 guage wire is thick enough.

If you're going DIY route, you need to make custom crimp ends...not a biggie...just get them off ebay done deal.

The voltage stabilizer? here is a link...
